Mystery Man

Mystery man with your mystery smile
Come on tell me something I don't already know
I've been looking around
I've been chasing these channels of the information age
And I'm sick of this show
I've been waiting for so long
So Mr wont you tell me whats going on
Cause now I am gone
Yes I am gone, long gone
Yes I'm gone
Don't care if I am right or wrong
Round we go, round we go, round we go in circles
I wonder what all the commotions about
Thieving and loving and waring and running
We're all just the same on this merry go round
I've been waiting for so long
So Mr wont you tell me whats going on
Cause now I am gone
Yes I am gone, long gone
Yea I'm gone
Don't care if I am right or wrong
